[ The video clicks on to show Dolorosa fussing with the computer. Well, most of her. Only the bottom of her head is visible, as whoever used this terminal last is far shorter than she is. After a few moments of this, the camera shakes and refocuses to show her face, and after double-checking it against the display on the monitor, she smiles and places her hands in her lap.

She looks tired, and the bags under her eyes have deepened from getting very little sleep this past month. ]

Well, I'm pleased to see they have heard and followed my suggestion to improve the cafeteria menu! The recent state of affairs has been simply atrocious, we can't have growing children expected to receive their necessary sustenance from such negligent offerings.

More than this, it allows little excuse for one to not eat healthfully, so I must encourage you all to observe your proper nutritional schedule each day. Should you require assistance, or perhaps more direct motivation, [ ie. her pulling you by the ear to the cafeteria ] my services remain available.

I'm glad to see local operations improving following the dreadful events of the past weeks.

[ Of course, she...doesn't know about the puffer fish soup... ]

I suppose so. Hmm... so... what are you then? Ah, I'm sorry! That was rather rude of me...

Well, I'm a troll. We have a considerable population here, aside from myself.

Eh? A troll... like... like the ones in fairy tales?

[ Given that every fairy tale she has ever read has had a troll in the starring role... ]

Well, uh, I suppose so.

But you don't seems like them at all... You're really nice and I feel comfortable talking to you.

[ Just narrowing her eyes in confusion. ]

And what could have been said in fables to exclude that? I know I certainly haven't read a story in which there were characters who eschewed such qualities entirely. Well, save for villains, perhaps.

Well, most of the trolls in the fairy tales I've read read seem to be villains...

Well, you must have read very different stories than I have. But, of course, the majority of fairy tales I have experience with feature trolls in most of the narrative's roles.

They do...? Ah, the stories you've read are from your world, aren't they? Are most people in your world trolls?

Well, of course. Within those confines, little else would be considered acceptable by those who have taken command of the society.

That's probably why the stories we've read are different then.

And what do these villainous trolls in your stories do?

Well, they usually guard treasure, I think or try to kill the heroes of the stories.
